CH 5.1

As for who she is calling—who else can she call?

He should have answered it, and there is no point in asking this question again.

And once he accepted this setting, Tang Mubai even felt that the black carved door in Lu Jingxing’s house was like a huge dog cage, and he himself was the pet dog locked in this cage.

A picture of the situation suddenly came to his mind.

Tang Mubai stared at the person on the other side of the iron gate for a few seconds and laughed out abruptly at the title.

On the other side of the phone, Lu Jingxing, who didn’t know why he laughed suddenly asked, “What happened?”

Just now, the girl’s voice was not very loud and she was still a few meters away from Tang Mubai so it was normal that Lu Jingxing didn’t hear it. .

Tang Mubai retracted his gaze, and the corners of his lips lifted; “Nothing.”

Lu Jingxing: “Have you seen Yi Ning?”

Tang Mubai turned his head to look at the girl again. The girl opposite was wearing a long turmeric sweater, and the collar was not too high or too low and the neck of the girl above the collar is slender and fair. The two legs wrapped in white trousers are thin and straight and a few inches of her ankles are exposed which is too slender.

She had her head half lowered and and her expression unclear, but the tips of her ears were red.

She was shocked by his half laughing question just now.

Tang Mubai made a “hmm” sound.

Lu Jingxing reminded him; “Remember the flash drive.”

“I don’t have Alzheimer’s so I’m hanging up.”

Tang Mubai turned around and took a few steps towards the door. He raised his hand and tapped his fingers on the door, ” Little girl.”

There were only two of them within a radius of less than ten meters. In addition, the title was obvious so Lu Yining’s reaction was not so slow and she raised her head subconsciously.

The door of the villa was not open and the man’s hand stretched out through the gap in the door and then spread it out.

The jacket he wore today was black and underneath the cuffs, the boy’s wrists were very white with clear viens of blue and green. It was obvious that he was asking for Lu Jingxing’s flash drive.

Lu Yining didn’t think too much at all. As soon as he raised his right hand, he handed over what was in her hand.

She was so nervous and her fingers were clenched tightly just now so when she released them, her fingertips seemed to slip through the man’s palm for two seconds, before she could take it back. The man’s hand was already inserted back along with his keys in the pocket.

Tang Mubai’s chin was slightly raised: “Did you just call me Xiaobai?”

Lu Yining was silent for a few second before she dared to say “um”.

Tang Mubai didn’t expect her to admit it, although it wasn’t straightforward enough but it was still beyond his expectations.

He tilted his head and as he got closer, for the first time he could clearly see her facial features, her almond-eyed oval face, pointed nose, and very clean appearance.

She didn’t look like Lu Jingxing at all.

Tang Mubai kicked a small stone under his feet, “Are you really Ah Xing’s sister?”

Lu Yining nodded.

To make it clearer, Lu Jingxing’s mother is the sister of Lu Yining’s father.

And the reason why they are all surnamed Lu is because Lu Jingxing took his mother’s surname.

Lu Jingxing’s parents are in a good relationship. Before he was born, Lu’s father and mother came to an agreement that the first child will take Lu Xinrong’s surname and the second child will take his father’s surname. But after Lu Jingxing was born, Lu Xinrong’s health was not very good, so the second child plan was put to an end.

Before Lu Yining was born, her mother Xu Man imitated Lu Xinrong and wanted her child to take her surname. Although Lu Weiguo complied with Xu Man everytime but this time he did not give in and it is said that the two had a big fight over this and Xu Man, who was more than nine months pregnant that time even went on a hunger strike.

But at the end , capitalism was still victorious.

After Lu Weiguo transferred several properties under his name to Xu Man, Xu Man compromised without even blinking.

Like a commodity, she was labeled as “Lu”.

Whether the surname was Lu or Xu, it was never upto her.

Tang Mubai didn’t know the inside story and wasn’t very interested in knowing it. He raised his head and looked at her: “By the way, what’s your name?”

“…”

Although Lu Yining was a little disappointed, she still thought it was a good sign .She coughed as if she was back in the examination room of the art exam and stood up straight, and said each word in a formal manner: “Lu Yining.”

“Oh,” Tang Mubai raised his foot and took a few steps closer, “ You just called me Xiao Bai, didn’t you?”

In fact, it’s not the fact that she calls him Xiao Bai but Tang Mubai really can’t accept the feeling this name brings to him.

There are many people who call him Xiaobai , people  who knew him for both long and short time but they call him normally but only Lu Yining called him like a dog.

The distance between the two grow closer, and Lu Yining held her breath involuntarily.

She had always known that Tang Mubai was good-looking, but it was the first time she had seen him so closely.

The boy’s eyebrows are beautiful, and every angle was just perfect. At this moment, the nonsense that Lu Yining thought was deceptive before, such as “Moshang is like a jade, the son is unparalleled”, is not enough to describe him. She saw his mouth move and said ” What?”

She really didn’t hear him very clearly.

Tang Mubai’s voice was not loud just now, especially when he approached and Lu Yining’s ears seemed to automatically block all sounds from the outside world and her mind went blank.

It wasn’t until he was only half a step away from her that Tang Mubai stopped.

Although the girl in front of him was tall, she was still a lot shorter when she stood in front of him especially her expression at the moment, which was not very serious but with little amount of seriousness.

She looks like a child.

“Little Lu Yining,” Tang Mubai bent down, and the two were looking at each other at the same level. His gaze was very light and a small figure was reflected in his pupils. “Next time, be good and call me senior, do you hear me?”

If Xie Kun heard her calling him Xiaobai again, he would probably laugh at him for a year.

“Be obedient,” Tang Mubai’s mouth curved down, his voice lowered, “Next time don’t sneak into the men’s bathroom, I can just take you inside.”

Lu Yining: “…”

Is it that she is abnormal or Tang Mubai is abnormal?

Question: What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever experienced?

Anonymous answer: [Updated answer on October 7th –

I haven’t seen him for a week, and when I finally saw him again, he actually said that he wanted to take me to the men’s toilet…

Excuse me? Is he serious?

Forget it, I can bear with it a little longer.

Who made me like him? 】

Lu Yining sat on a chair in the library and re-edited the answer.
